DocuSign Envelope ID: D3ADCOFO-560B-45AA-A3EA-B65E3A3A06DE XHIBIT A PROVIDER'S OUTSIDE AGENCY APPLICATION TABLE feeding local hungry kids Agency Information Years in Operation, Date of Incorporation, Agency's Purpose/Mission, Types of Services the Agency Provides Joy MacVane and several UNC students founded TABLE nearly 10 years ago in November 2007 (incorporated on the 21s). Our founders recognized the prevalence of hungry children in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area and noticed that there were no food assistance services for children. Our Mission is to bring together UNC college students and local community members to feed hungry children in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. TABLE has three goals: to provide weekly emergency food aid to local hungry children, to educate and expose our little ones to healthy foods and eating habits, and increase community awareness of local childhood hunger. TABLE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that began feeding 12 local elementary school children in 2008 and has since expanded to provide healthy food to approximately 500 preschool, elementary, and middle school children each week. TABLE has four programs to support its mission and goals: 1) The Weekend Meal Backpack Program provides healthy non-perishables, local fresh produce and fresh milk to children that are at risk of hunger on weekends and school holidays 2) SnackChef exposes our children to fresh foods and teaches them how to make easy, healthy snacks at home 3) Summer TABLE provides healthy food to local kids for 8-10 weeks in the summer months 4) TABLE On the Go (our newest program) allows children the opportunity to visit local farms, farmer's markets, and community gardens so they may learn about healthy food, their community, and where their food comes from. Agency's History with Providing These Services: TABLE has been delivering emergency food to hungry children in Chapel Hill and Carrboro since spring of 2008.
